Good to know their RMA is great. I have a hard time recommending a brand for AMD cards when people ask because the game has changed so much. Personally the only Powercolor card I had went fizzle fizzle poof.

Nah it was a toy card at the time and not really important. I had a friend give me a pair of 4850s for whatever and I had SLI 280s at the time. I had fun with them until the Powercolor card decided to let go then I just tossed it and gave traded the other off.

My $0.02: Unless, at this point in time, it is critical for you, I would wait a bit and see what comes down the pike.

I personally like my 2GB HIS 7850, the 7000 series runs much cooler and uses less power. There not too long so fit well in most cases. Usually you can expect card prices to go down around the time the rebates get paid out. So if the card had big rebates over the holidays then end of March- start of April there will be price drops.
